Does anybody know the difference between the 2000 VCX release of Taboo and the 2002 Odyssey "Special Collector's Edition"? (Other than the interview and commentary - I'm more interested in the A/V quality and any changes in the aspect ratio or cut/additional scenes.) None of the reviews I've found are of the "new" release.

Actually, my interest may end up being purely academic. While I can get the Odyssey version for $35.95 (don't freak, folks, that's in Canadian) the VCX version is listed at a whopping $99.95 (go ahead and freak, even though it is Canadian) - I have no idea why.

The VCX version may be cut, I'm not sure. I never saw the original but I've read comments on it being cut. The Special Collector's Edition from Standard Digital (which appears to be listed in stores as Odyssey) is supposed to have a better transfer according to the review on Adult DVD Empire. Standard Digital appears to be owned or run by Kirdy Stevens, the director. I thought the transfer for the VCX disc was pretty good, but it was obviously from a VHS master. I don't know if the Standard Digital release is cut or not though. If you do get it, please let us know how the transfer looks and what the actual run time of the film is, as if it is better or longer I'll have to purchase it.

I just ordered it, along with Amanda By Night. I've seen Taboo before but it was a long time ago. I remember it being the most exciting of those movies I saw as a teenager. I'll look forward to seeing it again. Also ABN.

Along with this title, I'm wondering if you've had a chance to view the title yet.

Unfortunately, this one is on backorder. (Not that I'd likely have had time to watch it recently anyway...)

TABOO is one of the BEST movies ever, not just of porn!
so many classic lines of dialogue!

"so i miss a few orgasms."

"I thought you were a pussycat!"
"& I thought you were a swinger!"
"save your dime, charlie!"

"i'll have the fish; it'll remind me of evelyn."

i'm into Family, Friends, Food & Fuckin.

Is Kirby Stevens still alive?
I'd love to hear (or read) his commentary on the TABOO series!
